The BlackBerry Enterprise Solution works with Microsoft Exchange to help boost business performance by increasing overall productivity and allowing mobile workers to make timely decisions based on the most accurate information available.

BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.1 includes the BlackBerry plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio allowing enterprise developers and systems integrators to leverage existing Microsoft-based developer tools to wirelessly enable applications for BlackBerry smartphones. This allows them to work within a .NET programming environment to use their development tool of choice, while taking advantage of the BlackBerry Mobile Data System.

BlackBerry Web Desktop Manager can be used with BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.1, which is a Web-based version of the BlackBerry Desktop Manager. It allows users to manage and configure their BlackBerry smartphones to receive messages -- in addition to performing maintenance-related tasks.

A key component of BlackBerry Enterprise is the server software. BlackBerry Professional Software is designed for small and medium-sized businesses; BlackBerry Enterprise Server is designed for medium-sized to large organizations. There are special offers available to new BlackBerry customers to get them up and running with the appropriate server software for no cost.

BlackBerry Professional Software Express is available for a limited time as a free download and includes one Client Access License, and a free 60-day trial version of BlackBerry Enterprise Server v4.1 with 20 Client Access Licenses is also available.

BlackBerry Professional Software, 5-user bundle, is $499. BlackBerry Enterprise Server Software v4.1 for Microsoft Exchange with one user license is $2,999 per server, and BlackBerry Enterprise Server Software v4.1 with 20 user licenses is $3,999 per server. A Client Access License is required for each BlackBerry smartphone deployed; $99 for a single license, $429 for five users, $699 for 10 users, $3,299 for 50 users, $5,999 for 100 users and $27,499 for 500 users. Organizations need to take into consideration the cost of the BlackBerry smartphone and voice/data plans from their wireless carrier.
